Ok, I've finished one of the toe ups twice now! I first binded off with the size 1's I was using..too tight on the calf...unbinded it and back knitted and used a size 2....too dang tight again but better. Went to bed and this morning unbinded them AGAIN and going to do a size 3...if this doesn't work ya'll are going to hear a loud scream! If it does work I'll have to remember what I did...my poor notepad looks like a math problem! I'm never going to finish these socks! I haven't even gotten my candy cane socks done and its almost Christmas...guess there's always next year...but I really wanted them done for this year. Whah! Need to wrap gifts, finish making cookies, finish shopping (poor mom still has nothing)...
Thanks to all my very special blog friends for all your condolences. Can't express how much they mean to me and felt every one of your hugs. I'm blessed to have ya'll in my life!:)

Okay, I'm totally NO help in this dept. Toe ups scare me. Did I jinx you? Remember I mentioned this last night on the phone? Can you increase back on the leg some and try to bind off again? In a way this is cool, you'll learn how to do it and then you'll be able to teach me! LOL!! ;O)
You can do it! Sometimes I bind of with size 6 needles just to be sure it's loose enough. That, or you can always try the sewn bind off. That usually works pretty well too.
I don't use a normal bind-off on my toe-ups. I use a sewn bind-off. I don't have any links right now but do a google search on sewn bind-off or ez bind off
Ah, the binding off issue :). Just google on 'stretchy bind off'. You'll find more possibilities.
